“Most likely, it will be Yulia Tymoshenko. She will bring destruction to Ukraine and everything will be worse than ever. Ukrainians will be recalling Leonid Kuchma and missing him. Since him, it was getting worse and worse.”

“I’m 100 percent sure it will be Yulia Tymoshenko. She understood all the mistakes she had made, and now she can bring Ukraine to European community more quickly than anyone else. If Petro Poroshenko wins, we’ll just have oligarchs ruling again.”

“I would like Olga Bogomolets to win. At least she will change the medical service in Ukraine by bringing in the obligatory health insurance system. Hopefully, it will be implemented well and it will work like it does in the western countries.”

“Obviously, Yulia Tymoshenko will win. She’ll bring no changes, everything will stay the same. Although I do hope that perhaps something will change to better in the economy. And hopefully there will be a stronger political support from Europe.”

“Darth Vader will win. Only he can bring the power and the might back to Ukraine. With him all the other countries will consider Ukraine equal to them, unlike the way it was before.”
